[QUOTE="Loch Valley Fold, post: 666802, member: 8216"] We've been told calves up to 6 mths can catch Johnes if careful practice isn't used the bacteria can last in the paddocks for 3 yrs (has been downgraded now to 18mths) & the only viable option for using a paddock with Johnes is to rear steers & send them straight to slaughter. We rear our calves using the JDCAP program - although it's not reconised in NSW once started it is very easy to continue, we've been very lucky as we have never had a case although I did work for a dairy farmer that had a MN3 herd, who had a cow test positive & it wiped out the entire family line going back & forwards generations.
